Mal Boyle Stats – Sunday 6th

The highlight of the day was Charlie Appleby’s 138/1 four-timer at Newmarket (trainer was highlighted yesterday morning/and earlier in the week via my Craven Stakes meeting study) + Placepot up at headquarters to £3.20 of the £20.40 (£1 unit) dividend.

The Placepot analysis offered all six winners + two Exacta forecasts of £50.70 & £26.00 in the first two races via three selections in each race.

There were four MMA WINNERS at 10/1 (returned at 5/1), 13/2 (3/1), 4/1 (7/2) & 4/1 (11/4), notwithstanding a 12/1 WINNER for the highlighted trainer at Doncaster which was pointed out early doors. My 2000 Guineas analysis yesterday offered the quote by Aidan O’Brien which directed you to back Saxon Warrior.

The words are the only ones offered in the last month (and more) of daily columns: “He’s a very special horse, we think. He’s done everything we’ve asked of him and he’s only been a baby. I’d say there’s no doubt he’ll be better on better ground”. Within seconds of the victory, Saxon Warrior was already been talked of as a potential ‘Triple Crown’ winner – a “very special horse” indeed….

POINT OF ORDER – Today very muck looks like an each way play day from my viewpoint…

WORLD CUP COUNTDOWN – TAKE ONE – PREVIOUS OFFERING LAST SUNDAY

The bookmakers should be ashamed of their current top price quote of 18/1 (Bet365/188) about England, notwithstanding the shortest odds of 14/1 with Ladbrokes/Coral/Bet Stars.

The general public seem to be more confident this time around because of Harry Kane as much as anything else but only recently, we have witnessed that Harry does not always ‘rise to the top’ when the chips are down and if Harry under-performs, we can surely kiss any chance we had goodbye, probably in the early rounds of the tournament.

Harry has enjoyed a marvellous season but just recently in Tottenham’s two biggest games (Manchester United in the semi-final of the FA Cup) and Roma in the Champions league (second Wembley leg), Harry wasn’t on his ‘A game’ on either occasion.

Is there anything knew about that statement? Well no unfortunately, because as much as Harry has obviously improved these last few years, he needs to take meteoric steps judged on his weak performances in the European Tournament two years ago.

That’s a major potential problem at the front end of the ‘spine’ and at the back, we have real problems in the goalkeeping sector because if we believe the press, the manager does not know who he is going to be playing as the number one choice, just seven weeks short of the competition.

As far as previous England teams are concerned, let’s take a look at the last eight World Cup tournaments, even though England only qualfied in seven of them!

The group stage is almost as important as the matches later in the competition in terms of building confidence. I’m going to be brutally harsh by comparing our record against those of Brazil and Germany. If that seems a tough route to take, we have to be honest if we are to win only our second World Cup tournament. Those willing to take (or are even considering the investment) will need to know just how short we have fallen in recent competitions.

We hear week on week that a ‘winning mentality’ is the essence of a successful team, so why have so many England manager been clueless in terms of building their teams into a winning machine?

Not convinced? Let’s have a look at the goal differences during the period.

Brazil: 51-13 (+38)

Germany: 55 -18 (+37)

England: 21-12 (+9)

Do you recognise the weakness now?

If we go back from the opening competition in 1930 – the ratios are no better.

Brazil: Win ratio: 70% (G/D: +91)

Germany: Win ratio: 63% (G/D +74)

England: Win ratio: 41% (G/D +21)

If you care to look at the other end of the competition where potential penalty shoot-outs can determine winners over losers – look at the records of the three teams?

Brazil: 3/4

Germany: 4/4 (Best record of any country)

England: 0/3 (Worst record of any country)

This is not been written as a ‘hatchet job’ against our team. It is offered to stop people losing money, which is almost as important as the main target of directing clients to making a profit via my service.
